About Ediz Ciloglu

Results-driven Mechanical Engineer and Six Sigma Black Belt with deep expertise in injection molding, process optimization, and manufacturing systems across automotive, medical, and electronics industries. Proven ability to bridge hands-on technical execution with data-driven decision-making to deliver stable, repeatable, and high-performance manufacturing processes.Currently at Weiss-Aug Co. Inc, I lead process development, optimization, and continuous improvement initiatives for high-precision thermoplastic and insert molding operations. By applying scientific molding principles, SPC, and DOE, I establish robust processing windows, reduce variability, improve cycle times, and enhance throughput while meeting strict customer and regulatory requirements.Previously, as lead engineer at Suensa, I directed end-to-end process optimization and consulting projects, supporting manufacturers with scientific molding, automation, robotics integration, material selection, and quality systems. My work consistently improved productivity, reduced scrap, and strengthened long-term process stability through data-driven strategies and strong technical documentation.At Humanscale, I spearheaded the establishment of an in-house injection molding department, resolving complex aesthetic and dimensional challenges while implementing automation, robotics, EOAT solutions, and regrind programs that delivered measurable gains in efficiency, sustainability, and cost reduction. Regular OEE, KPI, and SPC reporting enabled continuous improvement and executive-level decision-making.Earlier in my career, I supported automated manufacturing systems at Delphi Automotive and provided field service, process, startup, and troubleshooting support for injection molding machines at Japan Steel Works America, gaining broad exposure to machine controls, processing, and customer-facing technical problem solving.Detail-oriented, hands-on, and highly analytical, I thrive in fast-paced manufacturing environments where process stability, quality, and efficiency are critical. I am motivated by complex challenges and committed to driving sustainable improvements through disciplined engineering, strong documentation, and continuous improvement.
